This will be my second c section, my first was an emergency and I ended up having a very bad recover after hemorrhaging. I was in the hospital 5 days for my recovery. This time it is planned and I'm hoping it will be a much better experience. I'm just wondering how long everyone's hospital stay was for recovery after c section? TIA.

With my 3rd, I stayed 2 nights because he was born in the morning. With my most recent, which was 6 days ago, I had to stay 3 nights because my blood pressure stayed a little high before being discharged

Mine was unplanned as induction didn’t work and I was 10 days overdue (FTM). Had the CS Saturday night at 9pm and was cleared to leave at noon on the Monday (about a month ago). As far as I know,48-72 hours depending on complications and/or initial recovery (such as blood clots, infection, movement/walking after the surgery). Anyway, I hope there’s no complications for you this time around, good luck!!

Mine was unplanned due to induction and baby not dropping so we did an emergency c section turned out the cord was wrapped around my daughters neck. We ended up staying 4 nights. It was only supposed to be 2 nights but the extra 2 were due to my blood levels being so low since I lost a lot of blood in the OR.

My hospital is telling me 48 hours this time. My first was 72 hours which was also planned. Honestly, I want to be home asap, so while the shorter hospital stay concerns me, I'm not going to fight it unless my husband and I feel I absolutely need 1 more night.

Mine was an emergency. Had my son at 11:18pm on a Saturday and was discharged Tuesday. Could have been discharged Monday but they gave me the option and decided I felt more comfortable staying an extra day.
